Appendix A—Detail on Calculations of the Ontario Model<br />
As a result we estimate 0.8 days of activity lost on average for those with minimal<br />
injuries, 15.0 days of activity lost for those with minor and 74.7 activity days lost for<br />
those with major injuries. These values do not include activity days lost for those with<br />
total or partial permanent disabilities.<br />
Exhibit A-10 provides estimates of the number of activity-days and work-days<br />
lost through motor vehicle collision injuries. Note that activity-days and work-days lost<br />
are for non-disabling injuries only since the model calculates the number and social cost<br />
related to permanently disabling injuries separately. Based on motor vehicle collisions in<br />
2004 the model estimates 1.28 million activity-days and 600 thousand work-days lost<br />
through injury.<br />

D. OTHER RESOURCES EXPENDED DUE TO COLLISIONS<br />
This section identifies the expenditure of resources related to motor vehicle<br />
collisions.<br />
1. Medical Care<br />
Resources are expended related to the care and treatment of those killed and<br />
injured in motor vehicle collisions. Exhibit A-11 identifies selected medical care received<br />
by those involved in motor vehicle collisions and the factors per injured individual used<br />
in the model. Each category of care is discussed in this section.<br />
